New user looking to dive deeper into the TurboGrafx

[Otaking_Enos]

Hey everyone! I'm super excited to hopefully become a part of this community. The turbografx was a little before my time, but my older brother did have one which is how I would end up becoming so interested in it. I have a turbo grafx mini that I absolutely love. My favorite games for the console for the console so far are Castlevania: Rondo of blood and Ys book I and II.

I'm actually on a journey now where I'm playing through games on my backlog in release date order, and I'm about to really get into the turbo grafx. If anyone plays games on retro achievements, I would love add you so I have someone to compete with on the leaderboards  .

Hey Otaking_Enos, been a looong time since we got an introduction thread! I didn't think I'd see one again...

Welcome!

Both great CD games to have started. My Turbo Duo arrived with Ys Book I & II which I guess eventually led me to localize Ys IV!

Dracula X was recommended to me by store owners on the back of EGM/GameFan magazines so I bit the bullet and paid the $85 to get it! It was a leap/tough decision into imports because the US library ran out and it exceeded my normal pricepoint/range for what I was willing to pay for a game past $50, but I enjoyed Castlevania on NES, so I really wanted to experience the upgrade in PCECD! I rented all the US HuCards available, I was only left with buying options if I wanted to continue making use of the system.

I think its underdog status made it more appealing to me since I was the only one in the neighborhood for miles that knew about/had it. If not for the contest winning me a TG-16 with Bloody Wolf, I would've just stayed on the NES/SNES path. I didn't have the money to be chasing every new console on the scene, so I skipped Sega output for example with the exception of a friend once letting me borrow a Genesis for a bit.
